What do you think about gays and abortion now.......................?????

by vitty in

when you saw the wt for what it was and realized it was not the truth, how did that affect your thoughts on subjects like homosexuality or abortion for example.. did you start to think differently suddenly or did it take a long time ?.................or maybe you havent changed your minds on what the wt condemns.. i was quite shocked at how i accepted my teenage son was sexually active and i talked to him about condoms and this being an important thing in his and gfs life and where they sure they were ready.

i didnt tell him not to do it !.

actually i think i always had my thoughts on different subjects that werent in line with the org, i just pushed what i really thought to the back of my mind.. there are many different subjects name one that you relate to.. .

Ever met a CO's wife who was healthy and happy?

by Nellie in

friends

i just read another topic about cos and it got me thinking .

almost every single co's wife was sick and terribly unhappy.

i remember listening to them complain about not having a home, not having children, the accomodations of the friends, etc.

Once took the CO's wife on my RVs

It was winter and she was wearing a fake (i assume/hope) fur hat.

While on one of my "coffee calls" there was a knock on the door. In walks the drunk brother of my call. He was in his early fifties and was a nice guy, but it was close to Chrismas and he'd finished early and gone for a drink.

We all pretended not to notice and I introduced the CO's wife.

He looked her straight in the eye and said "heeelllooo Jeeeannn. Pleeeassed to meeet yooooussh. Why have yooouu gottt a deeead SSSqqquirrelll on yooour hheeead!!"

Beards, when were they banned?

by GramblingMan in

friends

i know it has been talked about before, but does anyone have information as to when jw started banning beards.

my wife is telling me that it started in the 60/70's because of the hippies, but i know i read somewhere on here that it was much earlier.. .

Pubsinger

I remember a guy who'd had this tidy beard for years. He'd been an elder but had stepped down many years previously because of his wife's health problems.

He was still viewed in good standing. He then began to "reach out" again and became a MS.

He was hgiven a part on the circuit assembly. The CO somewhat reluctantly brought up the beard thing. After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing the guy decides to shave it off (he looked "naked" after all those years!)

On the morning of the assembly, the guy who'd been made chairman for the assembly programme (much younger but from the same congregation) decides completely on a whim, to grow a tidy beard for his assembly part! In the rush getting the assembly started nobody notices!

The CO's face when he realises and the brother who'd shaved mood was highly entertaining

The guy who'd grown the beard was totally bewildered. He said he'd modelled his beard on the other guys who'd shaved cos it was so distinguished!!!!!

the walk of shame

by nonamegiven in

it all starts after you hear "these things we pray through jesus christ, amen".

i gather my books and the kid's books and put them away.

by that time people are walking over to us and talking to my wife and playing with my kids.

Pubsinger

Bleeding for you.

You must be wanting to be re-instated otherwise you wouldn't bother.

What's your wife's take on it all?

SAW III - A review of the movie

by Elsewhere in

unfortunately i can only review the first 5 or 10 minutes of the show as a result of the fact that i got seriously nauseous twice in that time period resulting in my having to walk out.

simply put, that show is seriously f. i've never been a big fan of horror movies because the plot lines and acting have traditionally been of extraordinary poor quality.

the main characters always make some seriously stupid decision and end up being killed by... whatever.
